• Partner with cross-functional teams (Product Management, Design, Data Analysis, Marketing, and Customer support colleagues) to identify high-impact research studies, understanding when to bring in others for support.
• Prioritize research needs across numerous work streams by evaluating the moment, scope, and scale of potential studies.
• Decide, balancing proven techniques with creative solutions, which set of methods and tools match each research question in order to create multi-phase, mixed-method studies.
• Infuse research insights to evolve Hotjar's understanding of different users' profiles, identifying big opportunities as well as quick wins by communicating studies outcomes and the reason behind them.
